Brief Description: This course provides rural communities the basic skill necessary to respond to mass fatalities.

Full Description: This awareness-level course will teach rural and tribal participants the basics of mass fatality response while providing them with opportunities to exchange rural and tribal perceptions and brainstorm for solutions to simulated emergencies. In the course of six modules, delivered over an eight-hour period, participants will learn how to identify critical resources necessary for identified functions, develop strategies for responding to unique challenges of mass fatalities incidents, implement forums for partnerships with key community, regional, state, and federal stakeholders for effective response and community recovery, and identify the components that comprise a comprehensive community-wide mass fatalities incident response plan. Upon completion of this instructor-led course, participants will benefit from an increased awareness of morgue operations and human remains recovery operations, and an enhanced ability to plan for the unique challenges of mass fatality incidents in rural and tribal communities

Course Objectives:
-Identify the significant differences in the death care process following a mass fatality event
from that of normal, daily processes, and list possible mass fatality scenarios that may affect
their communities.
-Identify the roles recovery operations play in the identification process, the procedures for
properly, safely, and respectfully recovering and documenting deceased human remains and
associated personal effects, and the staff and equipment needed.
-Describe morgue operations during a mass fatality response, the skill sets needed to work at
various stations found in the morgue, the interaction between morgue and family assistance
operations and the role recovery operations play in the overall identification process.
-Describe the FAC’s role in the identification process; the components, staffing needs, and
support services needed to facilitate FAC operations; and describe two models of a Family
Assistance Center construct.
-Describe some of the federal resources available following a mass fatality event, how to obtain
these resources, and how they are coordinated by local authorities.
Examine the transition activities for releasing federal resources when response activities are such that they can be handled by local authorities.
-Describe the importance of planning for a mass fatality response on the local level, the issues
that must be considered in the planning process, the framework of a mass fatality response,
and the on-going process of mass fatality planning.

Target Audience: The target audience for this course includes rural first responders, coroners/medical examiners, public health officials, and others with responsibilities during a mass fatality incident.
